- It's Showtime! Showtime 100 that is. On today's episode we build the Revell/Monogram F-4J Phantom II in 1:48 scale.
The power of nostalgia. This was the first kit that my father ever got for me, and even though I don't use it anymore, the smell of Testors Plastic Cement still takes me back to that model. I've been wanting to revisit this kit and see what I could do with it right out of the box, now that my skills have slightly improved from that first model.
While the end result isn't quite like it was in my head, I still feel like it turned out fairly decent. I just wish I still had that original model to really compare.

I thoroughly enjoyed this build, thank you so much for such an original format. The history lesson was quite possibly the best talkthrough ever of the best fighter to grace the skies. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Great video, model build and history. The F-35 should have been called the Phantom III.
Would be cool but Boeing has the rights to that name since they acquired McDonnell Douglas!
Beautiful build, People who handle light gull grey like its nothing always amazes me. Ive been in the hobby for almost 10 years now and i never get the finish that i want with light gull grey to this day (my lack of skill is the main issue here 😂) thank you for sharing this build 👏🏾
Thank you for the kind words. It didn't quite come out the way I envisioned in my head, but then again they rarely do.
Beautiful! Great job!
Hey, is a monogram model..
Is very dificult build 😋
I have the same kit, but being an old kit, I have problems with the decals. They are water-dip decals, right?
They are water slide decals. Being so old mine weren't salvageable, so I painted all the major markings and bought an aftermarket set for all the small warnings.
@@buildinghistorymodels Thanks for your reply! I dont plan to paint the major markings, can you suggest some decals that have all the markings and smaller stencils?
I got the small data stencils from Milspec, and I know Zoukei-Mura makes a Showtime 100 set in 48th scale. As far as I know there isn't one that come with both together, I could be wrong though.
